This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I teach about 100 dedicated, creative, and dynamic students. They are in grades 9-12. They practice at lunchtime and stay after school every day to work on additional projects. Many of them have music endeavors that span beyond class projects and want careers in music.
My students create film scores, play instruments, sing, write songs, and enjoy music.
They perform concerts at school, march in parades, compete at festivals, and are used to having their work shown in public.
All of the students at my school qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Many students tell me that this is the only school they've ever attended that has a music class. Please help me make this a meaningful experience for them!
My Project
Our school has a few musical groups performing Jazz, Rock, Hip Hop, Classical music, and more. As we add vocalists, we need to have our vocalists be heard. Right now, our singers use a microphone plugged into a keyboard amp, and the keyboard is also plugged in, which means that the sounds clash, and neither can be heard clearly.
This PA will allow our singers to use their own microphones and their own amplification, making their voices clearer.
They'll be heard above the rest of the group loud and clear!
